Biofuels are a wide range of fuels which are in some way derived from biomass. The term covers solid biomass, liquid fuels and various biogases. First-generation biofuels are made from sugar, starch, vegetable oil or animal fats using conventional technology. Second generation biofuels are derived from lignocellulosic crops. Plants are made from lignin and cellulose, second generation technology allows these two components of a plant to be split. Algae fuel, also called oilgae or third generation biofuel, is made from algae. Algae is low-input, high-yield feedstocks to produce biofuels. While there is no one established definition of "fourth-generation biofuels," some have referred to it as the biofuels created from processes other than first generation ethanol and biodiesel, second generation cellulosic ethanol, and third generation algae biofuel. This book studies the four generations of biofuels including biogas, syngas, algenol, and biogasoline.
